Lecce and Verona: the match at the Via Del Mare ends goalless, 0-0.

Lecce and Verona played out a goalless draw in the eleventh Serie A matchday one at the Via del Mare. Eusebio Di Francesco's side remain without a home win in the league, while Paolo Zanetti's men continue to share zero overall wins with Fiorentina. Ultimately, the relegation clash between the two sides ended in a draw, the first time the two teams have managed to avoid relegation at the Via del Mare in 22 years (1-1 in Serie B in 2003). In the first half, the home team dominated the game, relying on the flamboyant strikes of Berisha, Banda, and Morente. The numbers bear witness to this: the Giallorossi held 58% possession, and they had three shots on target against the visitors' only shot. Clear-cut chances, however, were few and far between, with Via del Mare sparking in flashes, such as in the 41st minute when Berisha unsuccessfully attempted to surprise Montipò with a shot from midfield. In the 65th minute, Lecce became more dangerous: Stulic coordinated his shot from the edge of the area and volleyed it, but it was deflected by Gagliardini: Montipò intervened with his foot and closed the door.

Hellas responded in the 69th minute: Giovane crossed the ball back into the box, Belghali got there first but made a poor save, which ended up in Falcone's arms. In the 79th minute, VAR was the protagonist following a collision in the box between Bella-Kotchap and the new arrival Camarda: Abisso awarded the penalty on the field, but changed his mind after being called to the monitor. Verona, along with Lecce, is the team that has conceded the most goals from substitutes in this Serie A (3). It was two new arrivals who created danger in the final minutes: Camarda and Sottil fired powerfully from outside the box, but were met by a careful response from Montipò. The final scare was a post hit by the new arrival Niasse at the end of a Verona move that was triggered by an offside. Many regrets and no goals: Lecce rise to 10 points, Verona moves to 6.
